7th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Consistent; won three on the bounce on AW over 1m4f in January/February; fair second at Beverley on Friday; stays 1m6f; each-way chance. |
6/1 |

2nd 3 (5) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Did well on AW earlier in the year and he ran well back on turf when third of 12 over C&D (good to soft) in April; latest Chester run easy to excuse (Class 4) and this is far more suitable; respected, for all there is a slight question mark surrounding fast ground. |
5/1 |

6th 12 (7) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
8st 4lb |
Completed a hat-trick of 1m4f AW wins in January/February; has continued to run well since and he sported first-time cheekpieces when just held over that C&D 11 days ago; 2lb 'wrong' but acts on turf and likely to go well again. |

5th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
0-17 on AW but he returned to form with a staying-on third here (1m6f) last month; now drops back in trip but he's 1lb lower than last time and has possibilities if this sets up for his closing style; visor reapplied. |
9/2 |

3rd 2 (7) |
20th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
On losing run and 0-16 on AW, unable to justify favouritism at Chelmsford 12 days ago; another 2lb lower today and too much ability to discount. |

Yet to add to his C&D win just over two years ago but lost out only by a neck when clear second back here (1m2f, good) 12 days ago and is sure to be suited by this move back up in trip; high on the list. |
100/30 |

2nd 3 (8) |
9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |

11/2 |

5th 1 (3) |
23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Four-time turf winner who last scored at Brighton (1m4f, good to firm; has won at this trip) two years ago; went close on two occasions at 1m3f (visored) during latest AW campaign but his latest effort when last of ten at Southwell (1m4f; raced freely) wasn't an ideal springboard for this switch back to grass; blinkers (has won in them before) go back on. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
AW campaigner who is having his first realistic go on turf; went close at Wolverhampton (9.5f) and Kempton (1m4f) in his first two handicaps but didn't progress across this winter's campaign; last two starts saw big defeats in the spring but maybe wind surgery will help and a tongue-tie is now added to his cheekpieces. |
12/1 |

11th 5 (10) |
10th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Maiden who threatened to get off the mark in both starts when wearing cheekpieces in February; bombed out in a newly fitted visor when apprentice-ridden at Southwell last time but needs a second look with the cheekpieces back on. |
10/1 |
|
7th 2 (1) |
14th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
Maiden who's been threatening of late; got the ability to win off this mark but been worried out of it a few times and was again inclined to hang left latest; switches to a visor from cheekpieces under Laurie Gallacher, who's taking a first ride under rules. |

5th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Inconsistent on AW this year and record is only 1-27 but the Ayr factor makes him interesting on classified debut; gained his win in sole visit to this course (May 2023). |
7/1 |

6th 8 (10) |
25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
1-26, the success over three years ago; drop back in trip (and refitted cheekpieces) coincided with overdue return to form, when a closing third to Dinah Myte (Barleybrown second) over C&D 23 days ago; his odds will be shorter now, but whether he'll back it up is questionable. |
10/1 |

3rd 13 (5) |
2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
1-25, that win for the Johnstons in an Ayr maiden (1m) in May 2023; in freefall since joining this trainer (0-7), weakening tamely after taking a keen hold in an added visor at Southwell (1m3f; last of ten) nine weeks ago, the drop back in trip needs to make a big difference. |

Placed for the first time when second of nine at Newcastle (12.5f, AW; 100-1) in February in first-time cheekpieces (retained since); beat only one home when beaten 26l here (1m4f) 20 days ago; has possibilities if able to show his best form. |

Won at Newcastle (2m, AW) in March and went close over that C&D last month but was well held when fourth behind Laravie at Pontefract (2m1f, good) 11 days ago and still needs to prove himself on turf. |

19th May 2026 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |

Inconsistent but likes it here (C&D winner in March off 4lb lower) and should fare better, the blinkers experiment having been binned following a below-par effort last time. |

Often a front runner who has gained six of his seven wins on the AW at Southwell; Elle-May Croot knows him especially well, but a record of 1-20 on turf suggests others are more likely. |

Poor maiden who's never gone close to finishing placed (7f-1m6f); the switch from cheekpieces to blinkers didn't make any difference back on turf one month ago. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Longstanding maiden who's done most racing over further, latterly 1m6f; not a bad effort in first-time cheekpieces on Polytrack in May but she's had any number of chances. |

8th 10 (2) |

0-13 but she has posted some solid efforts, including when third of 12 at Kempton (1m4f, AW) in January; respectable effort there in first-time cheekpieces three weeks ago but her stamina for this far isn't assured. |
14/1 |

6th 12 (11) |
20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |

Creditable third over C&D in January but she's struggled since, including over hurdles in March; record is now 0-12 and others are more convincing. |
